AMAZING !!!
This past Saturday she woke and asked to go on the potty. After she went (pee) I kept the diaper off and got out her sticker chart and “Ta Da” a whole day with NO accidents – including her own (unforced / not traumatic) bowel movements. She even cried at naptime when I went to put a diaper on her. So I kept it off and she woke two hours later in a dry bed!!!!!
Ready for this … NO GD the entire day!!!!!!!!! Not even revolving around her bowel movement.
A perfect repeat of Saturday on Sunday. That was two full days back to back without diapers or GD. Her behavior / mood was incredible!!!!!!! She’s been like a wonderful little girl with no worries
It’s a priceless thing to see.
Monday we went on a day trip. Not knowing how serious this new transition was I put her in a diaper. Her behavior remained wonderful. No GD during the car ride there (two hours), while at our destination no GD she listened very well and throughly enjoyed herself in all activities. On the way home, extremely over tired and no BM her GD kicked up like crazy. However, the second the car pulled into the driveway I ran her into the house and put her on the potty (ours) and imediately she had a HUGE bm. All Gd behavior stopped and I haven’t seen it since.
Today she wore, for the entire day, her “big girl undies” and we con’t on throughout the day again ALL pee / bm’s on the potty and NO gd. Full attention to all activites, ate all meals, completely happy the entire day!!!!!!!!!!!
She even asked to NOT wear a diaper at bedtime. Not sure on what was the “right” thing to do. With my fingers crossed hoping this was a good compromise I put her in a pull up. Oh but please … please … have this be the end all.
These past couple days have been like a vacation. She’s enjoyed every minute of the past three days. I look forward to waking in the morning and hoping that she’ll continue with this. Hopefully she’ll realize now that she’s in control of herself and that GD will never again control her but rather she’ll be able to control it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just googled gratification disorder after seeing the House episode where it is diagnosed. I had this as a child, as young as I can remember. I’m a teenager now, and I feel so relieved to learn that this issue was not just me, but is common among many children. So, thank you. And good luck. Your daughter is lucky to have a parent who cares so much.
